I recently attended a great presentation by April Cunningham and Hal Hannon on college reading and library instruction. It was part of the 3rd Annual Summer Retreat for Librarians, held at Chapman University in Orange, CA.
April and Hal link Carol Kuhlthau’s work on information search process with what we know about college students’ struggles to learn from academic texts, including scholarly journal articles. They developed or adapted three informative and thought-provoking models as a result. One illustrates the reading cycle during the reading process. Another is titled “Your Research Pathway,” and is designed to show students how to think about the steps of their project based on where they are in the information search process. The third model is another worksheet for students, this time focusing on unpacking academic texts in the sciences/social sciences and the humanities.
April and Hal have a web site with their presentation and models: http://cunninghamhannon.wordpress.com. It's well worth a look.
